Toyokawa Shoko doesn't want to become a witch

Page 326

"Enough with the nonsense, get out of my way!"

boom--!

The Sealing Flame Sword turned one of Li Xi's hands into flames, and Li Xi seemed to transform into a shooting star.

However, it was Hailing again who stood in her way.

"Get away!" Li Xi gritted her teeth.

"Your flames are too strong; you'll burn yourself." Faced with Lixi's angry rebuke, Hailing merely frowned. "I don't want to see you get hurt."

"And you're still spouting these fake words of concern even now!" Li Xi roared. "You protect Xiangzi no matter what she wants to do, do you want to be her dog?!"

“This is my promise to her.” Hailing pressed the knife against Lixi’s shoulder, her pupils shifting from bluish-green to scarlet. “A promise is a promise, and I won’t let you pass!”

"Then I'll beat you until you let me through!"

boom--!

The battle raged in one corner of the platform, but the other side remained eerily quiet.

The White Queen embraced Xiao Su Shi like a mother embracing her daughter.

As Xiangzi watched her hug Xiao Sushi, his feeling of having seen her somewhere before grew stronger.

"If... all the fragments were integrated into my body... what would happen to me..." Xiao Su Shi lowered her head and asked softly.

"If you succeed, you will become the vessel of the Goddess." The White Queen gently stroked Xiao Su Shi's hair. "She gave you this name, didn't she? You may not know that the Goddess is the origin of your name."

Xiao Su Shi's pupils shrank slightly before returning to normal.

"So, the 'Su Shi' you're talking about is the Goddess." Little Su Shi gave a bitter smile, looking in another direction. "So that's why you let her come...?"

Xiangzi stood there quietly, listening as the White Queen revealed the whole truth, word by word. She did nothing, but instead, she stopped Ai Yin and the others from trying to save Xiao Su Shi.

"Yes." Xiangzi nodded.

"You're not even going to try to argue anymore?"

"..."

"You promised to save me..." Xiao Su Shi asked, her lips bleeding from the cut.

Xiangzi raised her head, her gaze passing over Xiao Sushi and looking at the White Queen. She was deliberately avoiding eye contact with Xiao Sushi.

A shift in gaze is tantamount to a silent response.

Xiao Su Shi gazed in that direction.

She neither cried nor made a fuss, but her eyes became cloudy and her gaze empty. That gaze was like the trunk of a tree struck by lightning, the cracks from the lightning strike penetrating the trunk, the lingering warmth still present in the split wood, as if she were already dead, and all that remained was a shell with lingering warmth but no soul.

"As expected, compared to me... that girl named 'Su Shi'... our goddess... is more important."

The Lost Tale: The Lost Child: Chapter 417 Lead Singer VS Lead Singer

"As expected, compared to me... that girl named 'Su Shi'... our goddess... is more important."

Xiao Su Shi's voice was almost broken.

With her last glimmer of hope, she looked at Xiangzi, hoping to get a negative answer from him. However, Xiangzi still did not respond to Xiaosushi's desperate question.

Xiangzi raised his head and asked in return.

"I have a question."

She was asking about the White Queen.

Xiao Su Shi's eyes dimmed again. This time, they probably wouldn't light up again.

Xiangzi's indifference was like another blow to his already broken heart.

"How did the Regent break with you to the point that you sent assassins to kill the current Red Queen, the girl you poured your heart and soul into creating?"

The White Queen looked at Xiangzi, then at the little Su Shi in her arms.

fool.

She came here specifically for the goddess; isn't it obvious which is more important?

The White Queen sighed inwardly and said:

"If I remember correctly, we first met in the kingdom's cathedral, and that's when I called him a liar."

"Ah."

"I was too naive to think I could coexist peacefully with him."

The White Queen lowered her eyes, as if she were regretting something.

The regent also had his own ambitions.

He and she were both apostles of the goddess, equals, and on equal footing. But what men want is not an equal relationship; the White Queen's existence would inevitably affect his future ambitions.

He wanted to become the only person below the goddess, a being second only to one person and above all others.

Therefore, after the awakening plan succeeded, he turned against the White Queen and monopolized Little Su Shi and a series of research results. The honeymoon period between the kingdom and the empire also came to an end, and they entered into a long-term conflict.

"I want to teach him a lesson, to let him know what it feels like to lose something he cherishes."

"What if I really kill her?"

"Can you?"

"will not."

"I believe you wouldn't either." The White Queen blinked. "Do you think I would just ignore you 'visitors from another world' without doing any investigation?"

She smiled.

"The fight over the Holy Grail fragments was just a personal conflict between him and me, and this time I won." The White Queen clenched her fist, a smirk creeping onto her lips. "That scumbag deserves to die."

what.

No wonder it always felt familiar.

Xiangzi finally remembered where the sense of déjà vu he felt about the White Queen and the Regent came from—it was from Su Shi's parents, whom he had only seen in photographs.

Because they had never actually met face-to-face, she only remembered it now.

"I've explained everything that needed to be explained. Do you still have any questions?" The White Queen looked at Xiangzi. "My ally."

Xiangzi shook his head and looked away.

The friction between Hailing and Lixi acted as a fuse, igniting the conflict between the two teams.

Lamp, Ai, and Lena vs. Chuka, Mutsu, and Meow Dream.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you adding me? I'm useless!"

Like a cat that has found a fun toy, Lena kept biting Miaomeng and wouldn't let go. Miaomeng was chased around by Lena, who would cut off her hands, legs, head and other parts with her claws, and then quickly regenerate them under the effect of super regeneration.

They ran and tumbled along, their paths inadvertently blocking Aine and Mutsu's way.

Mu was about to strike with his greatsword when it almost hit Nyanmu.

"Meow Dream Kiss..."

"Don't get distracted, little nun!"

when--!

Mutsu pulled on the silk threads, drawing another greatsword to block Aine's iaido.

"Junior Martial Aunt?" A slight change appeared on Mu Yang's doll-like face. "Just a Junior Martial Aunt...?"

Boom-!

At the same time, a loud bang rang out from the other side.

"Xiao Xiang! Don't do that!" Deng, carrying the stone shield, charged towards Xiangzi, holding it up in front of him. "There must be another solution!"

With a thud, the stone shield seemed to have struck something even harder, and a huge crack appeared on the surface of the shield.

Chu Hua used her marble wings to block the stone shield summoned by the lamp.

Click click click.

Cracks covered the surface of the stone shield like growing tree branches, and finally, with a crack, it shattered into powder.

"I'm sorry, I can't let you pass." Chu Hua blocked the lamp's path, her outstretched wings like a wall.

“I know, Chu Hua-san.” Deng bit her lip, her gaze seemingly passing over Chu Hua and beyond the obstruction of her wings, looking at Xiangzi behind her. “I know you are fighting for Xiao Xiang.”

"But Chu Hua Sang, did you hear Xiao Xiang's heartfelt cries of unbearable pain?"

The lamp took the last offering from its pocket.

Unlike Xiangzi, who could endlessly regenerate offerings, she had used up most of her offerings after a day of fighting. The last offering in her hand was something she had acquired on the way to the summit; otherwise, she would have been completely out of supplies.

but.

It is enough.

"Xiao Xiang must have been desperate to make that decision."

The lamp shouted loudly.

"Do you know that!"

"Of course I know, but that was Xiao Xiang's choice!" Chu Hua responded in a strong voice. "Even if it was painful, it was still Xiao Xiang's own choice!"

"Then there's nothing more to say, Chu Hua-san!"

The system instructed her on the actions required to cast the spell. Following the instructions, she grasped the palm-sized offering in her hand, turned to the side, and clenched her fists.

Swish--

The arms wave in the air in a specific shape, eventually stopping at a position where the left hand is placed horizontally in front of the chest and the right arm is extended outward.

Offering: Wolf Knight's Armor

Power: S, Attribute: None, Uses: E, Duration: S, Rarity: S

The miniature steam core of the Wolf Rider's power armor houses the soul of a dwarf race. When used as an offering, it allows the user to don the same power armor as the Wolf Rider.

The spell required is only one word.

"Transform!"

The steam core that served as the offering vanished, and suddenly, thick steam erupted from Lantern's body. The steam machinery, starting from the core in her hand, spread throughout Lantern's entire body. In just a second or two, pale gray armor had completely covered Lantern's body.

She pulled up the red hood on her back, covering the top of her wolf-head armor.

"Chu Hua-san...I will defeat you!"

Large plumes of steam erupted from the critical connection point, the lamp bent over, and the exposed hydraulic rods of the armor retracted, assuming a posture of poised readiness.

"Yeah......."

Chu Hua smiled and spread a second pair of wings behind her.

One pair has marble wings, which are shields; the other pair has sharp metal wings, which are swords.

"...Looks like I'm playing the role of an 'eccentric executive' this time."

Bang-!

The two figures collided together.

The Lost Tale: The Lost Child - Chapter 418 (Final Chapter)

Flames and flashes of light clashed frequently as the heavy, sealed flame sword collided with the seemingly thin samurai sword.

Lixi became increasingly anxious as the fight progressed.

She possessed not only a sword, but also her most prized flames, yet after more than a dozen rounds, she had not gained any advantage over Hailing.

In terms of size, the Fengyan Sword and the katana are almost identical, with the only advantage in combat being their weight. However, weight is not always an advantage, especially when it is held by the less skilled swordsman.

Hailing's right hand was covered in blood and charred marks from Riki's body, while the wakizashi in her left hand still gleamed with a sharp light. It could be said that in this confrontation, although Hailing drew her wakizashi and confronted Riki with Niten Ichi-ryu swordsmanship, she did not truly use Niten Ichi-ryu swordsmanship.

"You're in too much of a hurry, Lixi."

Hailing casually parried the heavy blade of the Fengyan Sword with her broadsword, and then brought the small knife in her left hand to Lixi's neck, stopping just short of it.
